No olive oil in the water? When I get some I'll add some, it's been a long time since I bought any olive oil, like over a decade. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Olive oil makes a wonderful addition to stock French salad dressing too...... I pour a bit of Walmart....yes, Walmart Creamy French salad dressing into another bottle, add some olive oil, and sometimes a bit of vinegar....balsamic is great stuff. Shake it up and pour it on. Lettuce with some cottage cheese, what a wonderful salad. The olive oil coats everything very nicely, and gives a wonderful mouth feel. Yummy. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

You should try Pesto from Genova. NO! not from Genova, try some from Itri. Genova only makes great salami, focacce and farinata. |

Well, my brother, a retired sea captain, and his Spanish wife live in Genova Pegli and make their own Pesto. I was remembering this. Tullio |

Well, my brother, a retired sea captain, and his Spanish wife live in Genova Pegli and make their own Pesto. I was remembering this. Pulling your leg Tullio. Farinata is a chick pea foacce made with pesto sauce. It's on of the specialties of the Genova region. I was asked to create a housing development in a Tuscan style. So I had to visit Italy to research design and style. Food was on my personal list. Oh and do I need to add that I like certain Italian cars? |

Although I was born in Trieste I have worked in Genoa at the Elettronica San Giorgio (Elsag) on pattern recognition HW and SW. So I know both Genoa and Rapallo, where I slept, and also the Cinque Terre, especially Manarola. I like the focacce cooked in Camogli. One Easter Sunday I took a boat from Camogli to Punta Chiappa with my sons and had dinner in Punta Chiappa, then climbed the Mortella trail up to San Rocco where I had parked my car. I had just been left by my wife but I cared for my children. Tullio |

Long Sufferin’ Marie is Italian and she swears by olive oil, cold pressed and virgin. Thanks for the hint Vic. |

Long Sufferin’ Marie is Italian and she swears by olive oil, cold pressed and virgin. Oh there's nothing wrong with olive oil, My Mom liked using it too and She wasn't Italian, just a fantastic cook, Me I just don't have a need to use it too often anymore. And Yer welcome, I used Mom's pan after finally getting the metal out of the bottom as Mom liked to clean tough and hard to remove dirt in pans with SOS soap pads, which one is not supposed to use on a ceramic pan as they leave some metal behind, but some scrubbing with the green side of a newer scrubber sponge eventually removed that metal from the inside of the pan, plus some dishwashing soap and warm water didn't hurt either.

Just a quick note! Pat and I liked the "Cold Weather Corned Beef and Cabbage" with turnips and carrots. It was Great. I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) |

Since tomorrow is St Patrick's day, I am making Corned Beef and Cabbage. I make it the lazy way in a crockpot. I always buy the cheapest I can find with the flavor pack. I put just enough water in it to cover the meat, add a Knorr Boullion cube and some bayleaves. Turn it on high for a 5 to 6 hours. Then I add carrots, potatoes and cabbsge and turn it on low overnight. My office mates love it. So tomorrows fare is mainly for the family. And per a few requests, not many work on Saturday, I get to do it again on Sunday, for Mondays lunch. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

What a coincidence. My Dutch-Canadian wife is currently working on.... corned beef and cabbage for tomorrow. It appears to be a Dutch variant, since it includes both lager and cider in the recipe. fortunately, half bottles of each. Guess how I'm helping out? |

Even though I like Corned Beef & Cabbage, I found the following, Oh and I am really part Irish, As My oldest known ancestor was born in 1770 in Wexford Ireland, it's on the south eastern coast. http://www.europeancuisines.com/Why-We-Have-No-Corned-Beef-Recipes Ask someone -- especially a North American -- who hasn't lived or visited here about what Irish food is like, and nine times out of ten, as they grope for answers, they'll mention corned beef and cabbage.

I suspect it is a North American thing. Both corned beef and cabbage were low cost foods that didn't need refrigeration, but would make it through a North American winter. As such they became staples for a lot of low income North American immigrants - including the Irish. |

As such they became staples for a lot of low income North American immigrants - including the Irish. And from what I read most beef was sold by the landlords to those in Canada or the US, My relatives came to the US in 1850, after being in Canada for I think 5-20 Years(a guess at this point), of course they did live in Ireland up to maybe 1830 or so, before 1690 though they lived in France, possibly in Alsace-Lorraine. Mom liked to cook a stew, which if I had the income, I'd cook it too, but I don't. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
